The humor in the game appears to be self-referential and absurd, with some players suggesting that the developers may be mocking those who buy the game, as evidenced by a config file filled with the nonsensical phrase "pepe head." This suggests a playful, albeit potentially off-putting, approach to humor that may not resonate with all players.
- “I am wondering whether the dev is aware of all this and is just laughing at anyone silly enough to purchase it - in the game folder, there is a config file which I went to hoping to tweak the settings, but inside it is just the repeated words 'pepe head'.”
